    Note: When I took my seriously-vintage Seiko 6139 Chrono out to Seiko in NJ for service early this year (yes, barely pre-COVID), the front of the building had the Grand Seiko signage prominently displayed out front. Not saying they're all set to handle that $7k GMT, but I think that indicates their seriousness about promoting GS stateside. (Sadly, I can only stretch as far as maybe upper-end Presage, but I can deal.)
    Glad to see you and Marc together again - my two favorite people in the watch world.

    I pre-ordered the Casio G-Shock GMS5600-1 and love it. It's more my size than my DW5600 and with the metal case and thinner profile, I could wear it to the office without it looking like a workout watch. The only negative: the reverse display can be difficult to read in low light. However, the backlight remedies that problem.

    So happy to see that Dan Henry made the list. I bought the 1964 with the black dial and white subdials "Evil Panda" version this past year. Absolutely love the vintage look. I believe that Dan Henry was spot on in capturing that look and feel. I own about a half dozen late 50's and early 60's vintage pieces: Omega, Croton, Gruen, Lord Elgin, Bulova and a Longines/Wittnauer. Other than the fact that the Dan Henry is shiny and new, it fits right along side.

    I really like the expertise you both showcase in these videos, and you both are such enthusiast of horology that it really shows clear as daylight. I like that you are two very different persons, with different tastes but you present unconditional admiration for each others picks. You have to be a legit watch nerd to understand that you don't really have to look for ways where you can separate yourself from others who love this same thing we might call horology, but that we all are able to find and share joy and make conversation and learn from each other.
    On the totally subjective negative side, I always feel like Marc isn't really comfortable. He doesn't seem like he wants to be there, he really isn't very charismatic, or maybe that just comes from the fact that TGV oozes charisma and joy, and you can just tell that every moment spent on screen is a moment he loves being in. There's quite a bit of contrast.
    And having said that, there's still a good dynamic forming between the two, and if Marc can get a bit more relaxed and comfortable, it will be even better, and it is already pretty good. So all in all, I like watching these, keep them coming, and maybe next time have Marc drink something before the recording :D

      I saw some used ones but they got some battle scars on the glass and sadly, I'd like to have my own scars on It if It has to have some ha.

    My favorite of 2020 was the Seiko SZSJ005, a 12 hour mecaquartz chronograph with a very pretty black and cream dial reminiscent of the classic Daytona. It was a JDM only release, made in collaboration with Nano Universe, a fashion boutique, which is the only place you could buy it. It sold for JPY 27500 and they're all gone now. I managed to get my hands on one straight from the source through a Japanese buying service and it's one of my prized pieces now.

    It's been a raining depressing day in England today - I put on my James Bond Swatch (Living Daylights), as everything looked cloudy. Wearing this fun, childish watch cheered me up no end. With this watch, I wasn't taking myself, or anything else seriously - and it lifted my mood. Anyone else have a watch they wear to drive the blues away?

    I have some expensive watches but almost never wear them. I work outside and my current daily watch is a G-Shock GW2310 Atomic Solar. I love it for usefulness but the band sucks. Do you have any tricks to keep the rubber end of the band holder from sliding off 5 times a day?
    I've been thinking about putting hot glue spots or tying some parachute cord to make a stop. It's got a locking clasp, but the loose end of the band always pops out (usually when I'm sleeping.) This has been a problem for many G-Shock watches I've worn over the years.
    I don't care if it looks good, it just has to be rubber or other non-absorbent material. I can't be the only guy with this problem. I wear a watch 24/7. I swim, shower and occasionally do some snorkeling. I don't dive much deeper than about 3 meters.
    I have a Rolex, Tag and some Patek gold thing I've never worn that was passed down; it just doesn't look right on my wrist, (I'll pass it down one day.) I just want my watch to be accurate, solar powered and easy to read.

    What a nice chat between watch lovers! You both are beautiful people! The A.P. 15000 dollars, has the little blued hands inside the horizontal sub dials, off center, which made me lough, because I was telling somebody my Seiko dial is misaligned and he told me it's because it's a "cheap" watch... Gorgeous timepieces! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

    Enjoyed the video guys. My pick for this year was the Seiko SARX069 LE. It is an homage to The Crown Chronograph of 1964 that was a single pusher stop watch. For this homage they replaced the pusher with a date but kept the dial very true to form and upgraded the bi-directional bezel to steel from plastic while maintaining the exact same appearance. I have one on my wrist as I write this and the dial has very much a Grand Seiko vibe.
